Here’s a recent update by @mike about the #fediverse, and #flipboard ’s role in federating magazines and content https://flipboard.medium.com/federating-flipboard-magazines-8c071dfad345 #activitypub #reading #Community #education #flipboardusergroup https://flipboard.medium.com/federating-flipboard-magazines-8c071dfad345
@FlipboardUserGroup @mike Maybe it's just me, but when I use the iOS Flipboard app and select some topics to follow, most of the articles in the topics are both riddled with ads and cookie choice popups. I find it totally unusable.
@bobmonsour @FlipboardUserGroup @mike you have an option to “mute” the ads to make your experience more “readable”. If you are on iOS, navigate all the way to the right at the bottom of each ad, pull down the 3 vertical dots dropdown and select “Mute (name of advertiser). Keep me posted.
@FlipboardUserGroup @bobmonsour Hi Bob, have you tried Reader Mode on iOS? It eliminates abusive ads and popups from web sites. Also you can mute any website that is overdoing it with ads so you won't see it again. This also sends a signal to our engine to potentially stop recommending that site in the future.
@mike @FlipboardUserGroup @bobmonsour that’s right!! I forgot about that one. Thanks for the heads up. #flipboard
